“OMG, YOU RACIST, I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE SAYING ALL ASIANS LOOK ALIKE!”
Relax. Maybe get up, and drink a glass of water or something.
Anyone who’s ever seen a K-pop music video knows that it ain’t no walk in the park to discern who’s who.
First, there are a LOT of members. The boy group Seventeen doesn’t literally have seventeen members, but it has nearly that many. And I don’t have any idea how many girls there are in Girls Generation, because they don’t stay still long enough for me to count.
BTS, on the other hand, is doable. I mean that it’s possible to tell them apart, as there’s only seven of them. (Get your brain out of the gutter, jeez.)
And lucky for you, I’ve decided to be altruistic and put this step-by-step guide out:
Namjoon, AKA Rapmonster

When in doubt, look at the front teeth. They’re unmistakable, and they look like they belong on a bunny.
Seokjin, AKA Jin

Jin has slanting eyebrows, like the ones you draw on cartoon characters to make them angry. They’re easy to spot, even under his hair.
Jimin, AKA Chim Chim
Pouty lips? Nope, all the members have them in the videos.
Double eyelid/big eyes? Nope, that too.
Process of elimination it is.
Yoongi, AKA Suga/Agust D
Yoongi’s one of the three rappers, and he’s the only one that has a speech impediment of sorts- it’s unmistakable, especially in Not Today, or as he would say, “nhat too-dey”. It’s not because of the Korean accent in English, either, because it’s unique to him. When you hear him rap, you get why they call it “spitting fire”.
Hoseok, AKA Hobi/J-Hope

That smile! It speaks for itself. Now you know why Hoseok’s stage name is J-Hope.
Taehyung, AKA V
I learned so much about the bts members thank you so much lol
